Problem installing Asterisk

I'm installing asterisk in my Dell DHM system on the fedora core 6 platform.
I'm getting this error mesg.

[root@dialer zaptel-1.2.16]#make
grep: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include/linux/autoconf.h: No such file or directory
Makefile:211: target `ztdummy.o' given more than once in the same rule.

You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 kernel installed.
make: *** [all] Error 1
[root@dialer zaptel-1.2.16]#

Can anyone help me on this topic ?

It seems like you need to install the kernel headers. Try 'rpm -qa | grep kernel' and make sure it returns kernel-devel and kernel-headers. If it doesn't then install the missing package via yum.

Installing kernel source on FC6

Google is your friend! Notice the error message, You do not appear to have the sources for the 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 kernel installed. Then search appropriately. You'll find something along these lines:

Hi andy thanks for you sugestions. I'm giving below the output of the command
#rpm -qa | grep kernel

[root@dialer ~]# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6
[root@dialer ~]#

I think the kernel headers are installed. So what more do i need to check ? Please help.

According to the Zaptel Makefile, you should only see that error when the $(KSRC) variable is empty or the directory to which $(KSRC) refers does not exist:

Code:

@if [ -z "$(KSRC)" -o ! -d "$(KSRC)" ]; then \

  echo "You do not appear to have the sources for the $(KVERS) kernel installed."; \

  exit 1 ; fi

Looking back through the Makefile, we find that $(KSRC) is defined as:

Code:

KVERS:=$(shell uname -r)

endif

ifndef KSRC

  ifneq (,$(wildcard /lib/modules/$(KVERS)/build))

    KSRC:=/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/build

  else

    KSRC_SEARCH_PATH:=/usr/src/linux-2.4 /usr/src/linux

    KSRC:=$(shell for dir in $(KSRC_SEARCH_PATH); do if [ -d $$dir ]; then echo 

$$dir; break; fi; done)

  endif

endif

We know that $(KVERS) is defined, because the kernel version shows up in the error message. Look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build for your kernel headers. If not there, look also in /usr/src/linux-2.4 and /usr/src/linux for full sources. Without knowing more, my guess is that RPM thinks those packages are installed, but they're not (or no longer) there. You could use RPM to force-upgrade those headers, or install the kernel source headers manually without RPM.

Good luck!

Thanks roderickm for your sujestions. It was indeed because of the kernel version
i found out the solution anyhow. Thanks for your effort though
